Kasley I don't think you will be able to work here without a green card and Florida Certification.
If you tell immigration you're looking for a job, you will most likely be refused entry.
However, I had a look at a couple of websites that might give you advice on getting qualified.

Travel Nurse Staffing with AMN Healthcare, the Leader in Quality Nurse Staffing

I found this on another site:

Quote:

"The H-1B visa allows foreign nurses to be employed by a U.S. employer.
The basic requirement to obtain a qualified position in the U.S by an employer are that the candidate must posses the equivalent of at least a U.S. Bachelors Degree, as well as experience in the field for which approval is sought.
The EB-3 visa is what allows a medical staffing agency to recruit foreign nurses to the USA on permanent resident status. The process currently takes approximately 8 to 12 months.

A job offer must be in place."

Right, if kasley is coming on a VWP, then they will definately NOT be able to work here during their stay. If they do, then they risk deportation and a ban from the US for further visits.
As for needing a green card, that's not strictly true, plenty of people work here on visas with an EAD without having a green card. Won't happen on a VWp though.

As they didnt actually say what visa or VWP they were entering the US on, one can only guess as to what their situation is.

The H1-B does require the employer to file a labour condition application with the Department of Labor before the visa can be processed, so I doubt that they have one of those or they would already have a job and not be asking on here.

As they said they are coming to the US next month, time is against them getting a suitable visa to allow them to work if it's not already in place.

Getting State certified is going to take a while too, even if it was a possibility.

More info is needed from the original poster if they want any more advice.

Hey kasley,

That's excellent news, I'm sure you'll have fun. A change is good for the brain.

Hope you have a great time while you're over here, will you try to work towards getting a greencard eventually?
I guess you'll be here for Christmas eh?
